Five out of the top ten drivers, racing in the Monster Energy NASCAR® Cup Series drove cars equipped with JASPER products. One of those included the champion of the series Martin Truex, Jr. who drives for Furniture Row Racing.

“Overall, our 2017 went really well,” said Terry Dekemper, JASPER Driveline Division Manager. “We were extremely busy throughout the year, but our season went smoothly, with no major issues.”

“It’s truly a testament to the strength and durability of our driveline products,” Dekemper added.

Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth were also among Joe Gibbs Racing drivers in the NASCAR® Xfinity Series used the three-rail 4-speed transmission.
